GIRLS LACROSSE

Something in the Kadets’ water. Sure, we all knew the Air Academy girls basketball team was good and that the girls lacrosse types have been good for a while under coach Sean Harmon.

But the Kadets are 3-0, ranked No. 2 in the latest LaxPower.com computer rankings and have outscored their first three opponents 70-13.

Today, the Kadets get their long-awaited title game rematch with Cherry Creek. The Bruins won the title last year 16-11, and both teams are eagerly anticipating the rematch set for 4:15 p.m. at the academy’s K-Dome.
